Why people convert Lisbon to Kathmandu time
- Scheduling a call from Lisbon to Kathmandu: a 10:00 AM start in Lisbon lands at 2:45 PM in Kathmandu, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Lisbon and Kathmandu are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 12:15 PM WEST time (1:45 PM–5:00 PM NPT). That is roughly 3 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: Lisbon viewers need 1:45 PM in Kathmandu to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 7:15 PM if the event is anchored to Lisbon.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +4h 45m gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–12:15 PM WEST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Lisbon and need Kathmandu colleagues present.
- Lisbon: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +4h 45m gap.
About WET (Western European Time)
Western European Time (WET) is used in Portugal, the Canary Islands (Spain), Morocco, and several other locations. It is equivalent to GMT/UTC. During summer, Portugal and the Canary Islands switch to WEST (Western European Summer Time, UTC+01:00).
About NPT (Nepal Time)
Nepal Time (NPT) runs at UTC+05:45, one of only a handful of time zones worldwide that are not a whole or half hour from UTC. Nepal set its offset to 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC in 1986 to mark the country's position between the 75°E and 90°E meridians; Kathmandu's solar time sits just over 5 hours 41 minutes ahead of Greenwich, so the 45-minute offset tracks the sun more closely than either 5:30 or 6:00 would. Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so NPT is fixed all year. The offset makes Nepal 15 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (UTC+05:30) and 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Dubai (UTC+04:00).
